About
Hello this price includes face painting. Lets discuss details. I would love to be creative and make your event awesome. Call soon. Please contact me directly. I love face painting and seeing kids have fun. I pride myself in being on time. I keep in touch with the client right up to day of event. I like to customize the event by knowing what the theme will be so that I can be ready to fulfill the customers wishes.
All my paints are FDA approved! I also love Balloon twisting.
I love to make people smile with my artistry.
I love working with color and seeing kids smile. Face Painting is rewarding because I get to see my work displayed as kids run around showing off the designs created by me. I am out to please each customer, if someone is not happy I will do whatever design they want until they are.

Michelle came out for our little guy's birthday party and did a fabulous job! She was very easy to reach and on-time and willing to do the adults as well as the children. The balloons she made the kids were really cute as well (this was an add-on).

Michelle made my daughters’ graduation party so much more special. Not only was she sweet but she had this contagious happiness about her we all loved. The kids were so excited for balloon animals, but the face painting had everyone making a line, even the adults. Michelle is so talented! Definitely book her for your children’s party. You won’t regret it!

Michelle is absolutely wonderful! She is so passionate about what she does. She is positive, friendly and engaging with kids and adults alike. She came early to set up for my sons first birthday party and stayed late to make all the kids got tattoos and balloons, many more than one. As she was packing up a little girl came up and she was about to do a design for her but I told her it’s ok, that she’s done way more than enough! The children absolutely loved the airbrush tattoo designs and as Michelle explained to me when I was choosing services, the children were able to go into the pool immediately after without the airbrush design smudging when the set touched it and the ink didn’t run off into the water! She also sent a collage of the tattoos she did that day so I can add it to my photo album. I highly recommend her services to all and can’t wait to have her again at a future event!
Thank you Michelle!
